Back to some digital art after quite a while. This is vaguely inspired by the MMPG EVE online, as I always picture the ships' captains to be something enshrouded by mysticism and a somehow religious authority. They are the sole governors of immense ships manned by adequately huge crews who only rarely would see their captain; and also, they're semi-permanently wired to the ship's systems. I guess that would turn them into something akin to gods to the eyes of superstitious space sailors. And of course, there's always a wink towards Frank Herbert's Dune and the novel's Guild Navigators (hence the title).Hope you like.

Hay, fellow Dune fan!Yes! Of course I know, although it's Norma Cenva. I heard Kevin J. Anderson wrote about her in his prequels, but I refuse to read those: not only it's a tasteless commercial operation, but I also know Anderson to be one of the worst writers I've ever read. Possibly the worst.

I'm currently reading Herbert's WorShip series (the four novels Destination:Void, The Jesus Incident, The Lazarus Effect, and Ascension Factor), also very interesting so far.And if you haven't read Whipping Star, I can only recommend it.

Thanks sir!Ahh Denmark! I must visit soon.And awh... your gallery makes me almost want to play EVE again. Luckily, it's just an almost! Or I would be sucked into that game and lose my real life! Fear EVE! It's too perfect to be a game!

this is pretty awesome but I have a few crits for you:her face seems swollen.. the elemnts of her face look more from the side than the shape of the face, like her mouth.her head+neck+shoulders are a bit too far back

Hmmmmm... CHOAM I don't know, it's not like when you say "Combine Honnete Ober Advancer Mercantiles" any image springs immediately to m mind. It's not like, say, Tleilaxu aesthetics, or the Spacing Guild... (and I can't come to like the Caldari aesthetics: my favorite after the Amarr remain the Gallente).

Yes IX and Caldari , you just might have discovered a great idea there .

When i think of CHOAM ( TY for reminding me what the acronym stands for ) i imagine this super conglomerate of companies . When i think of Caldari i imagine the same thing . True i have no specific design / look in mind .

Hmmm Ix makes me think more about Gallente. Maybe because the Caldari aesthetics kinda feel retro with all those angular shapes.

Tleilaxu Jovians, yes! Most definitely.Fremen... hmmmmm. They aren't freedom fighters after all. After becoming followers of Muad'dib, they became the imperial shock troops, so not much "freedom" there... Besides, they never possessed a fleet by themselves, so I guess they'd just use the imperial ships... Hmmm. And I'm tired of seeing fremen. It looks like all artists can do when depicting Dune is depicting Shai Hulud and Fremen... there's more to it than Arrakis!

The Fremen ( modification of Free Men ) were freedom fighters at least when they were up against the Harkonnen and the Sardaukar before the Jihad .

You are correct the Fremen did not have there own ships , in fact no one did . The Spacing Guild had a monopoly on all interstellar traffic . ( i am of course not referring to the Butlerian Jihad / Machine crusade period / prequal series ) Factions withing the Dune universe would have system bound ships ( no FTL ) and would load them on guild high-liners to be moved to the target system .

You are correct in the fact that most people only dive in the most shallow of waters / deserts of the Dune series , and as a consequence of only reading the first book of the series are fixated with Arrakis itself in the Paul Atreides period .

Well not exactly. Great Houses did have their fleets, but they were mainly transports. What the Guild had monopoly over was heighliner, and foldspace travelling. But for landing on planets, etc., there were private transports.

Fish Speakers and Gallente. Yeah, it feels like the two motifs would blend well, I agree. Or even Fish Speakers and Caldari.
